Lazar Kaganovich. Prisoner of Fear
49.99 €

For more than three decades, Lazar Kaganovich was one of the Soviet leaders. He was called the "iron commissar", the "iron Lazar". And for good reason. The man who bore these nicknames knew no pity or mercy. He was considered "Stalin's best student." He was entrusted with the most important tasks. All the first half of the 1930s in the days of Stalin's absence in Moscow Kaganovich led the work of the Politburo. At certain stages of his career, he headed the People's Commissariat of Railways and certain branches of heavy industry. He worked with V.M. Molotov, L.P. Beria, G.K. Ordzhonikidze, A.I. Mikoyan, G.M. Malenkov, K.E. Voroshilov, N.A. Bulganin, N.S. Khrushchev. He survived the Stalin era and died at the age of 97, five months before the collapse of the Soviet Union. The figure of Kaganovich is extremely demonized and mythologized, shrouded in clubs of legends and fictions. In the book Valery Vyzhutovich attempted to show Kaganovich not only in the "iron", but in all the multidimensionality of his political and human nature. The author turns to archival and memoir sources, depicting Kaganovich's activities in different periods of his life. Kaganovich's role in the repressions of the 1930s was not left without the author's attention.
